It's more for the gamers. By the sounds of the motherboard I'd say it's a server board? You may find that this card may not physically fit. Generally these cards need an x16 slot (although each GPU runs in x8 mode). Looking around this NVidia Quatro card seems like it will do the job and it uses a x1 PCI-E slot (you can fit a x1 or x4 card in an x8 or x16 slot): *http://tinyurl.com/ltd4ur It's about £120 and according to the information it will run two monitors... "*Two VGA connectors, via the included DMS-59 to dual VGA adaptor cable, offer outstanding image quality at resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 85Hz." * Or you can pick up the same card from eBuyer.com for a tenner cheaper and you get free delivery within 5 days too (although from experience, most of the time if you order something on their free delivery it usually turns up within 2 working days) - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/145351 Hope this helps.
